Chapter 184 Unpolished Jade
Qin Yi looked at Su Tong, who was dressed in a dashing manner, with a calm temperament, clear eyes, and a graceful demeanor. She was completely transformed from the country girl who was fleeing in a panic when he first saw her. She was like a piece of unpolished jade, which would burst into brilliant brilliance with a little polishing.
The more you understand, the more amazed you will be; the closer you get, the more surprised you will be.
When Ma Liu insisted that Su Tong must accompany him, his first feeling was that it was reasonable.
He learned that Su Tong was intelligent and quick-witted, knew when to advance and retreat, and his abilities were no less than any of his comrades.
No! He was even better than his comrades. His medical skills alone were enough to leave many people far behind.
However, as the captain of the action team, he was also well aware that Ma Liu's request was extremely unreasonable. The danger level and safety level of the action were there, and Su Tong had no obligation to bear them.
She had just struggled to escape from suffering and had just been given a new life. She deserved to live a stable and peaceful life under their protection, instead of putting her in danger because of an unreasonable request.
So he has been actively studying the second plan. If Ma Liu doesn't accompany them, how are they going to complete the mission...
Until Lin Li called him and told him that Su Tong was willing to participate in the mission, his first reaction was still opposition, even though Su Tong's participation was the most conducive solution to the action.
He is a soldier. No matter how difficult or dangerous their mission is, they should face it head-on. They have no obligation to let Su Tong share the burden.
But Su Tong seemed to have anticipated their thoughts. She said she wanted to join the army and she wanted to be tested.
Whether she was trying to convince them or she really had this ideal, he suddenly didn't want to object.
Su Tong was not impulsive. Whether she simply wanted to help them solve the problem or she really had her own ideals and goals, her behavior alone deserved their respect.
Her behavior alone makes her worthy of being called a warrior.
Such an outstanding woman should not be buried in that remote mountain village.
What's more, she has the ability.
He immediately changed his mind.
Su Tong has this wish, and he is willing to pave the way for her.
Su Tong was willing to make sacrifices, but he didn't want her to be an unknown hero.
On the one hand, he strongly opposed it at the discussion meeting, making everyone realize the difficulty of actually implementing this plan.
On the one hand, we contacted the old leader who led this operation. No matter what was discussed below, he was the one who could make the decision.
At the same time, he began to organize people to sort out and adjust the original action plan from scratch and make the details more perfect. He wanted to ensure Su Tong's safety to the greatest extent.
Sure enough, the old leader did not agree to Su Tong's joining, just as he expected.
He drove back to Beijing overnight. There were some things he could only talk to his leader in person.
In the end, he persuaded his superiors and returned to Hubei Province with a military order.
Finally, the girl stood on an equal footing with him and stretched out her hand to him with a smile:
"Brother Yi, happy cooperation!"
Qin Yi looked at her, stretched out his hand to her, and said happily: "Su Tong, happy cooperation!"
Su Tong blushed immediately after hearing this.
She just called him "Brother Yi" because it was in line with the mission requirements...
However, he did not respond to her "Alan"...
"Yi" and "Yi" are homophones, so it seems like she was just shouting... "Brother Yi".
This makes it seem that the name is a little too...intimate!
Su Tong is now well-maintained, her skin is fair with a rosy glow, her complexion is already good, and when her face turns red, she looks like a rose covered in morning dew, incredibly bright.
Qin Yi looked at Su Tong like this, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he was a little stunned!
The hand holding Su Tong forgot to let go for a moment.
Su Tong wanted to withdraw her hand, but failed to break free, and her face suddenly became even redder...
Fortunately, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Someone outside shouted, "Boss, the hot water you requested is ready!"
Qin Yi finally reacted and let go of Su Tong's hand, but a hint of red quietly appeared on his usually serious face.
After a moment, he answered in his normal voice:
"Thank you! Please send it in!"
The door opened, and a sturdy woman came in from outside with a smile, carrying a wooden basin with steaming water in it.
"Please ask the host to boil some hot water for you to soak your feet." Qin Yi said to Su Tong.
Su Tong was a little surprised. Qin Yi didn't say much along the way, and he didn't chase her like Zhou Jin and Lin Li to ask if she was tired or if she could keep up.
Unexpectedly, he would be so considerate as to ask for a basin of hot water for her to soak her feet.
When she put her feet into the hot water, her heart also seemed to be soaked in the hot water, warm and very comfortable.
I feel very lucky to be able to participate in the mission and to meet a captain who cares so much about his subordinates. It’s great!
After soaking her feet, she originally wanted to fall into bed and sleep, but she took out a small jar of plaster from her backpack and carefully applied a thick layer on the red and swollen areas on her feet.
Qin Yi came in after washing up, saw it and asked:
"Your foot is rubbed? Is it serious?"
Su Tong raised his head and answered with a serious face:
"It's not broken, it's not serious, but I have to take precautions and never let you down!"
Qin Yi found it a little funny when he saw her suddenly serious look, and reached out to rub her head, "Don't think too much! How could you hold us back!"
A familiar touch came from his head, soft and warm, which made Su Tong's heart tremble slightly.
This was the second time he rubbed her head. Apart from her brother, no one would rub her head so gently and tenderly… A strange yet warm emotion lingered in her heart, as if, besides her brother, there was also someone who would give her such genuine care and love. She felt very safe.
She lowered her head to hide her emotions and handed over the small jar in her hand, "Brother Yi, do you want to apply some too?"
…
When both of them had packed up and wrapped themselves in the quilt, Su Tong belatedly remembered that the last time she was in the hospital, she and Qin Yi had stayed in the same ward.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, he had already given her extraordinary trust. Whether he was discussing the case with her before or letting her participate in the operation now, he had never looked down on her because of her background.
Like a true comrade-in-arms, he gave her full respect and - expectations.
Su Tong suppressed the excitement in her heart and closed her eyes. She wanted to conserve her strength to face the journey ahead.
She will not disappoint this expectation.
The room is not big, but it is more than enough for two people to sleep on the kang, each wrapped in a quilt, with more than one meter of space between them. The quilt is a bit old and hard, but fortunately the kang is heated.
For those who have been running on the mountain road all day, it is a very rare place to rest.
Su Tong felt his whole body relax, and waves of fatigue came over him. He thought he would fall asleep quickly, but after closing his eyes, everything that happened in Wushanao passed by before his eyes like a movie.
The sick Baogen, the crying woman, the depressed village chief Ge, the frightened villagers...
Yes! Why were the villagers terrified when they saw them?
Just because of their unexpected arrival?
Or is it because they have uncovered their feudal and superstitious activities?
Village Chief Ge's reaction was strange. He was afraid that Li Song would mention the witch. The feudal and superstitious activities in the villages outside had not been eradicated yet. They were just passers-by who were staying overnight. If they were just simply engaging in feudal superstition, was it worth being so scared...
And that weird pen...
"Can't sleep?"
Su Tong was troubled by the messy images in his mind when he heard Qin Yi's voice beside him.
"Thinking about what happened tonight, I feel like something is wrong."
Seeing that Qin Yi was not asleep either, Su Tong simply expressed his doubts.
